This blog was created to chronicle my training for and running of the Glass City Marathon, my first, which I completed on 04/13/08, in honor of my cousin, Cassy, who has severe cerebral palsy. If this is your first visit or you would simply like to know more of what this blog is about, please see my post, "Preface and Purpose", by expanding the January 2008 Post Archives at the bottom of the right sidebar. It's my very first post at the bottom. Thanks for stopping by!

Sports Med Appointment
I have an appointment on Monday with a sports med doc at Sports Care at Wildwood in Toledo. Just got off the phone with one of the receptionists who called to confirm my appointment and she also advised she had located all of my radiology and MRI reports and would be sure the doctor (Dr. Reagan, though not spelled that way) gets all the info prior to my appointment. I'm anxious to be looked at by another physician that will hopefully be able to diagnose what is wrong with my leg and get me on a road to recovery. It really feels no better and aches constantly. I tried to go to sleep night before last without taking any ibuprofen and could not as it was aching so much that I could not get to sleep.
I got Cassy's shadow box out in the mail today. Should be there within a week. I can't wait till she and Aunt Denise get it.
We'll be at Lindsey's school softball team's final tournament in Monroe for most of the day tomorrow, then I have rehearsal at church later in the afternoon for Sunday's services. I'm singing on the worship team and also doing a tune by Matthew West, "You are Everything", in the services.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, Rick. I hope that you'll be able to get a concrete diagnosis followed by relief this time around. Think positive!!! :o)
hope you hear interesting news on MOnday....as far as singing tomorrow, well that again will be another awesome thing. Singing is an amazing gift, and well you are totally awesome at it, and by so its encourging to many many and many people
gosh, I hope they figure it out, the constant pain must be exhausting! I can totally relate to your frustration. Praying you get some answers and solutions.
Hope you're able to get healed up soon. I know you must be frustrated not being able to run but just think of how good it'll feel when you start back up:)
Hope you guys have fun this weekend..enjoy the great weather!
I am the husband to an awesome woman, I have two lovely teenage daughters (no, really, they're great... really), a great family and friends, and a blessed life.
The sweetheart my first marathon was in honor of. See my first post from January 2008 titled, "Preface and Purpose", in my Blog Archive below to read more about Cassy.

I have just stopped by your blog and I just want to say that I love the reason behind your running and the gift that you are giving your cousin!!
As for your doctor.... that is just said care. Still I hope your appointment goes well.
Hope everything goes well with the Doctor today, and you can get back to running soon!
